“AP Jiu Jitsu is an incredible place to train! From the moment you step onto the mats, you can tell this is more than just a gym—it’s a family. The professor at AP Jiu Jitsu (Andre Pontes) is extremely knowledgeable and detail-oriented, breaking down techniques in a way that makes them easy to understand and apply. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, the coaches here take the time to ensure that you’re learning and growing in every class. What really sets AP Jiu Jitsu apart is the atmosphere. Everyone here is supportive, welcoming, and dedicated to helping each other improve. It’s a place where egos are left at the door, and you truly feel like part of a team. If you're looking for top-notch instruction in a friendly and encouraging environment, AP Jiu Jitsu is the place to be! Highly recommend to anyone looking to train Jiu Jitsu!”

“My son has been coming for over a year and a half. it's been the best his confidence is at an all time high and he's making some great friends. He's also been getting into competing and loves going to the tournaments. I have been coming to the adult classes and they have been great too. I highly recommend this gym.”

“AP Jiu Jitsu is an exceptional studio to enroll your child (or yourself) in. We were first brought to the studio through a family friend who brought my son during Buddy Week. This was an experience that AP JJ promotes to allow currently enrolled practitioners to bring a friend to try out the studio. My son was instantly hooked. Professor André and Coach Vong are super adept at keeping kids engaged, learning and growing as both practitioners of BJJ and contributing young citizens to our society. One of the stand out teachings I have enjoyed is their attention to how the children are behaving outside of the studio. Pushing them to represent themselves, their families and the studio in the highest light and respect they can achieve. Monthly homework sheets are administered and required to be returned at the end of the month with a minimum quota to receive credit. The studio participates in local in-house (and affiliate studio) tournaments which are great starting grounds for kids who are interested in participating in other tournaments such as DREAM and JJ world league. If you are looking to build your child’s confidence, strength, accountability and purpose, AP JJ is a great choice. The children really seem to vibe with each other and they are constantly encouraging and teaching one another. They also have adult classes for any adults looking to explore the world of BJJ. The mixture of ages and backgrounds is prevalent for the adult classes. Thinking of signing up? Don’t wait….it’s a great time to start.”

“I had the opportunity to visit Logos on holiday from Colorado. I was given the chance most people don't get very often, a one on one session with Vong. During our session, I was able to go over multiple techniques and positions that I was working through as a blue belt. Vong was very engaging and eager to answer all the questions I had. I have nothing but good things to say about this gym and wish I was in town longer. Thank you Logos for having me. If you are ever in the area and are looking for a place to train, I highly recommend Logos.”

“I joined this academy in August of 2022 and have been thoroughly impressed with the experience. I went to several locations prior to making a decision. The Professors and coaches at this academy are not only excellent but also incredibly attentive to each student's needs. In particular, Professor Andres stands out for his remarkable knowledge and technical expertise in Jiu Jitsu. What sets Professor Andres apart is his patience and understanding of each student's unique characteristics, including age, fitness level, and body type. He tailors his guidance to ensure that everyone can excel in their training, regardless of their starting point. His emphasis on adapting the game and training to individual abilities fosters a supportive and inclusive environment. As an older athlete (48 years old) I am going to have differences in how I can train and the techniques I can use and Professor Andres guides all of his students to their strengths. One of the standout features of this academy is the sense of camaraderie among its members. The people who train here have formed a tight-knit community, evolving from training partners to great friends. The positive atmosphere and encouragement from the staff and fellow students contribute to making this academy an awesome place to learn and practice Jiu Jitsu. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, the academy's focus on individualized coaching and the sense of community make it a fantastic choice for anyone looking to improve their skills and enjoy the journey of Jiu Jitsu.”
